Right on the water’s edge with an enclosed sun-deck, 4 Dolphins offers a luxurious water’s edge holiday experience with seals, otters and seabirds, so close you can almost touch them! The experience of being so close to the sea is something quite exceptional and you will never tire of the ever-changing views and sounds whilst you sit looking out, either from the sun-deck or the comfort of the glass fronted living room. 4 Dolphins is situated on the coastal outskirts of Connel, 6 miles north of Oban on the shores of Loch Etive, and is the ground level luxury apartment created by the owners who live in the house next door.
With exceptional attention to detail and with the comfort of guests paramount, all rooms are luxuriously decorated with comfort and convenience in mind. Within walking distance of 4 Dolphins are three restaurants and three bars, a convenience store, and a railway station. You are feet away from the beautiful Loch Etive and just 5 minutes from the amazing natural attraction of the Falls of Lora, a tidal race underneath the Connel Bridge. Nearby attractions within a 5-minute drive are Dunstaffnage Castle and the Ocean Explorer Centre in the village of Dunbeg which also has a very popular Garden Centre with a café.
Across the Connel Bridge, a 10-minute drive takes you to the village of Benderloch, with its famous Pink Shop, grocery store, cafés, Tralee Beach, Ben Lora woodland walks and easy access onto national Cycle Route 78 which stretches all the way from Oban to Fort William. Oban, just 10 minutes drive, is a bustling west coast harbour town, and has lots going on for the visitor at any time of the year. Known as the ’Gateway to the Isles’, with ferries leaving daily to many islands, such as Mull, Iona, Staffa and Lismore. In keeping with its reputation as the Seafood Capital of Scotland, there are some excellent restaurants, cafés and pubs.
The area is a paradise for golfers, water sports enthusiasts, mountain bikers, mountain climbers and walkers with all the nearby glens, mountain ranges and coastal paths to explore. Inveraray, the ancient capital of Argyll, with its Castle and Jail, is a fun day out for the family. For any guests with young children, there is pony trekking available in the area. A trip to the Isle of Seil, over the Bridge over the Atlantic and a fast fun boat trip viewing whirlpools and wildlife, is another day out for family fun! Further afield, but within an hour’s drive, visitors can enjoy the scenery of Glencoe, take a trip to Fort William to see Ben Nevis or catch the Harry Potter train. Beach 8 miles, shop ½ mile, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

I cannot praise this property highly enough. Letty & Ken go the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need in a self catering home. The Welcome Pack is incredibly generous and thoughtful.The property is beautiful, clean, comfy beds and sofa's and everything you need for a fab holiday. The location is breathtaking - right on Loch Etive. We were fortunate to see the Sea Otters and seals every day and very close to the garden balcony!If you're looking for a relaxing holiday, in a beautiful, luxurious place this is the property for you. It was a brilliant week.We will definitely be back!Thanks so much Letty & Ken **

A beautiful property, the household utensils and equipment were of a very high standard . Letitia is a perfect host , the "welcome pack" provided with the Four Dolphins was very much appreciated. The location of the property is wonderful and the view is stunning💖

Stunning location with incredible views that were worth the price of entry. A nice, if small flat, that was well equipped and very clean. Great location a short drive from the centre of Oban and within short walking distance of Connel's pubs and shop. A couple of things need updating, but nothing that spoiled the experience. A lovely welcome touch from the owners leaving enough for a fried breakfast, milk, wine, butter etc - much appreciated and enjoyed.
